![]() |
Leaves are simple, alternate, oval to broadly elliptic and 2 to 4 inches
long. The margins are toothed with closely-spaced, sharp teeth pointing
outward (those of the black
cherry (P. serotina) point inward). Leaves are wider than
those of the black cherry. They are a dull green above and paler beneath
with occasional tufts of hair in the vein axils. | |
